Active clinical trials for "Respiratory Tract Infections"

The purpose of this study is is to demonstrate superiority of Polyoxidonium, nasal and sublingual spray, 6 mg/ml over placebo in children aged from 1 to 12 years with acute respiratory viral infections. This is a multicenter prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group phase 3 study.

To assess the impact of rapid diagnostic testing of patients with Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (ARTI) at the emergency department, on (1) hospital admission rates and (2) antimicrobial prescriptions (days of treatment) and (3) the non-inferiority in terms of clinical outcome. Geographical and seasonal variation will be assessed on a real time basis including pathogens of public health interest. The impact will be stratified within age groups and risk factors in order to determine the long-term clinical, public health and economic determinants for the integration of diagnostics in a global and sustainable perspective.

This study aims to test the safety, efficacy and potential mechanism of action of the SinuSonic device on adults with upper respiratory infection (URI). SinuSonic is a medical device that utilizes sound and pressure combined with normal breathing. The study will have 2 aims. Aim 1 willdetermine if Sinusonic decreases the number of URIs experienced during an 8 week fall URI season. Subjects will use an active device (positive expiratory pressure and 128 Hz) or a sham device (no positive expiratory pressure and 1,000 Hz) for 1 min tid for 8 weeks. Aim 2 will determine if Sinusonic decreases the severity and duration of community acquired viral URIs. Subjects will use active or sham device as above.

This is a Phase 1, single-centre, randomised, placebo-controlled first in human study in healthy subjects. The study will assess the safety and tolerability of single-ascending (Part A) and multiple-ascending (Part B) doses of Neumifil, administered intranasally.

[Aim] Purpose of the study: to analyze the effect of vitamin D supplementation in reducing COVID-19 morbidity and severity in healthcare workers. The study will involve a minimum of 120 medical staff. All participants in the study will assess twice for serum 25(OH)D level: baseline and after 3 months of Vitamin D supplementation. After the baseline examination, the subjects will be randomized into 2 groups. In the first (No. 1), vitamin D therapy will initiate at a dosage of 50,000 IU on the first and second week, followed by a switch to a daily intake of 5,000 IU for 3 months. In the second group (No. 2), vitamin D therapy will prescribe for 3 months at a dosage of 2,000 IU/day. After 3 months of vitamin D supplementation, all participants will undergo to repeat testing of serum 25(OH)D level with an assessment of the effectiveness of the therapy. Body mass index (BMI), height, weight, SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (IgG), 25-hydroxycalciferol (25(OH)D) and presence of acute viral infection futures, parameters assessed after treatment.

The goal of this project is to determine the efficacy of a treatment method that increase a participants sense of smell after suffering from COVID-19 related decline in smell. Participants have to be greater than 14 days from positive COVID-19 test and still have a decreased sense of smell. https://jaoa.org/article.aspx?articleid=2765119 this article is a review of literature regarding why OMT can have a positive effect on individuals suffering from COVID-19 Anosmia: Complete loss of smell Hyposmia: Decrease in smell

Conventional therapy of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is not always effective and sometimes leads to side effects and also to inappropriate use of antibiotic. Hence, a search for safe and effective further treatment options is justified and would be a welcome addition to available conventional treatment. Use of plant based dietary supplements has become increasingly popular over the last few decades or so. Research based on some plants is more than centuries old and its main therapeutic objective is to stimulate the self-healing power of the body. Andrographolide was docked successfully in the binding site of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. Computational approaches also predicts this molecule to have good solubility, pharmacodynamics property and target accuracy. This molecule also obeys Lipinski's rule, which makes it a promising compound to pursue further biochemical and cell based assays to explore its potential for use against COVID-19. A. Paniculata is a patented extract, standardized to Andrographolide, 14-deoxyandrographolide, and Neo-andrographolide. Maqui contains Maqui Berry Extract of Aristotelia Chilensis (10% Anthocyanidin, 8% Delphinidin) belonging to the family of Elaeocarpaceae, which has been known for its use in several conditions such as sore throat, fever and several other ailments. In the present study, the therapeutic potential of Andrographis Paniculata and Aristotelia chilensis as single ingredients as well as in combination will be evaluated in participants with common cold and COVID related symptoms. The products to be evaluated have been rigorously standardized and are available under the brand names of A. Paniculata and A. Chilensis. Literature indicates that both A. Paniculata and A.Chilensis are effective and safe in the treatment of typical cold-related symptoms in adults.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of pidotimod as treatment in participants with recurrent respiratory tract infections.

This single-arm, open-label small interventional proof-of-concept (POC) study study aims: to assess the clinical outcomes of patients exhibiting viral respiratory infection (VRI) symptoms and seeking primary healthcare (PHC) services at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, to assess the clinical effectiveness of the Cretan IAMA (CAPeo), a herbal extract combination, for these patients, including in terms of symptom resolution (symptom frequency, duration) and intensity), and to investigate its prophylactic effect in terms of transmission prevention for people cohabiting with the patients exhibiting VRI symptoms.

This project aims to study the benefits of probiotics namely Bifidobacterium lactis M8 in treatment of upper and lower respiratory tract infections in young children, which are found common among children in Malaysia aged from 0-24 months.
